Bot Sentinel uses machine learning to find bots. https://botsentinel.com/ https://botsentinel.com/
- acali 6y agoFrom Bot Sentinel's About Section: "Instead of creating a model based on our interpretation of a troll or bot, we used Twitter rules as a guide when selecting Twitter accounts to train our model. We searched for accounts that were repeatedly violating Twitter rules and we trained our model to identify accounts similar to the accounts we identified as “trollbots.”" That's not a bot.
- aeternum 6y agoIt's also a very questionable way to source training data. Most bots should be programmed to avoid violating Twitter rules to ensure they are not banned. Maybe Bot Sentinel's model is simply finding users that prefer not to follow authority/rules.
